1. Data Sources

BestSec aggregates cybersecurity content from RSS feeds, official vendor advisories, and other publicly available information sources. We do not require account registration to read public pages.

2. Data We Process

We process request metadata (for example IP address, user-agent, and timestamp), on-site preference data (including cookie consent), and content metadata needed to publish article summaries, scoring, search results, and newsletter archives.

3. Purpose of Processing

Data processing is used to operate and secure the platform, improve content quality, deliver relevant pages, measure performance, and support advertising and fraud prevention where applicable.

4. Log Retention Policy

Operational logs are retained only for as long as necessary for security, debugging, and reliability analysis, then deleted or de-identified according to internal retention schedules.

5. Third-Party Processors

We may share limited technical data with trusted service providers acting as processors, including:

• Google AdSense (advertising delivery and measurement)
• OpenRouter (content-processing infrastructure used for analysis workflows)
• Hosting and CDN providers (infrastructure, caching, and uptime)

6. User Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to your personal data, correction or deletion, objection to certain processing, and data portability where technically feasible.

7. Data Security Measures

We use layered safeguards including transport encryption, access control, least-privilege operational practices, and monitoring designed to reduce unauthorized access and abuse.

8. International Data Transfers

Service providers may process data in different jurisdictions. When transfers occur, we use commercially reasonable controls appropriate to the nature of the data and processing activity.

9. Cookie and Advertising Controls

You can manage non-essential cookies through our cookie banner and browser settings. For more details, see the Cookie Policy.
